However, I say that the Gods have nothing to do with the human creation of evil. We do that all on our own and the pit that has been dug is never-ending. I am a citizen of the formerly great country of the United States of America. Since 1980, on and off, there has been a steady slide down in our morals and ethics. And, it WILL only get worse because evil is never ending. It is created by man out of greed. We now have a president who committed treason with a foreign power in order to get elected. The Gods cannot stop this. However, man also creates mountains of good. I do see people throw off the tons of cynicism which builds up due to the evil surrounding us. Maybe someday we will win.Julia Erganehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04613625453621934834noreply@blogger.com
